Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 baguette cut in 1/2-inch diagonal slices (or 8 slices thick country-style bread cut into 3-by-3-inch slices 1/2-inch thick)
12 tablespoons black-olive paste
1/4 pound goat cheese, like Montrachet, at room temperature
1 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
Chopped chives, parsley or basil to garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and bake them until lightly brown (about 10 minutes). The slices may be toasted under a broiler or over a grill instead.
Spread the slices with olive paste, then with goat cheese and tomatoes.
Preheat broiler. Broil crostini for about five minutes (just to melt the cheese). Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chives, parsley or basil.

Yield makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

500g stoned black Taggiasca or Niçoise olives
1 small sprig of fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 tbsp salted capers, rinsed
1 dried red chilli, crumbled
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ciabatta loaf, cut diagonally into 1cm thick slices
1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half

Steps:

▶ In a food processor, pulse-chop the olives with the thyme, capers and chilli. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the vinegar. Add the olive oil slowly, stirring by hand. Check the seasoning. The mixture should be thick enough to spread on a crostino. ▶ Grill the ciabatta slices on each side, then lightly rub one side only with the garlic clove. Spread the olive mixture over each slice and serve.
